Amnesty urges France to ban stun grenades after teen loses hand

Original: Amnesty International calls on France to ban stun grenades after teenager loses hand at school protest

Amnesty International is calling on French authorities to ban the use of stun grenades by police after a teenager lost a hand during a school protest. The human rights group says the weapons are inherently dangerous when used against crowds and wants France to end their deployment at demonstrations.

Why now: The serious injury to a minor at a protest has reignited debate over French police crowd-control tactics.
